PAOV,We've got just 24 hours left to have our voices heard as the government decides what to do with YOUR money.
The government is putting together the federal budget right now, and the window for public submission closes on Friday at midnight.
Join us to make sure that the government doesn't ignore the world's poorest. Call on your leaders NOW to increase funding for foreign assistance in the upcoming budget.
It’s easy. We’ve pre-written an email for you, so... send it as is or edit and make it your own.We know that there’s a limited amount of resources and that times are difficult in our country but as Canadians, we're proud global citizens who are committed to achieving a world without poverty - and the fact is, our budget has not been reflecting that.
Since 2010, Canada’s contributions to development through Official Development Assistance (ODA) have been frozen or falling and are now at some of the lowest rates at 0.24% of Gross National Income (GNI) in Canada’s history.
We need to change that.
Tell the government that it’s time for Canada to put money where our mouths are and play a bigger role in development assistance.
Our government is asking for our input, so take a minute and make sure your voice is heard. Together we can get Canada’s aid budget back on track!Thanks for doing what you do,
Dominic and the Global Citizen team
